I'm encountering some weird behavior, and wanted to share - maybe someone
has come across this (or similar) before and has some suggestions.
On my development system it works fine (SunOS XXX 5.8 Generic_117350-24
sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880), however I copied it onto another system
(SunOS XXX 5.8 Generic_117350-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire) and all of a
sudden, the script will only work if at some point in the function I print
to STDERR one of the values of the internal hash (see below).
This code will be a bit sparse, I am unable to share the original code
unfortunately, but a generic breakdown is below. Let me know if you need
more details, I'll try to get more out:
I have a hash that gets populated. The hash is then used with a proprietary
function in a separate library. For example:
.
use mylib qw(function1);
.
my %hash;
# populate values..
.
%hash = function1(%hash);
.
OK, so far so good, in the function, I am assigning an internal hash to the
values of the external hash thus:
package mylib;
.
sub function1 {
my %internalHash = @_;
print STDERR "$internalHash{SOMEVALUE}\n";
.
}
If I don't include that print statement, the function does not work at all.
Has anyone encountered something similar, or is the problem that I am
experiencing somewhere between the keyboard and the chair?
Thanks,
Tal
